It's like everywhere I turn, I see something with a card slot or USB port . I <i>guess</i> it makes sense though, considering how much cheaper memory has become lately...<br><br>Ahhh, I shouldn't be moaning and groaning.

Maybe a good parallel in music would be that going to a Neko Case show is very cool, but debating on a blog which Neko Case album is the best would probably be considered nerdy. <br /><br />"The thought that a Justice Leaguer couldn’t be immediately outfitted with a rockin’ cybernetic arm is kinda laughable."

I do an icebreaker with my students every year where everyone says the nerdiest thing about themselves. I used to say that mine was that I liked Batman, but after the success of the Dark Knight, that didn't seem nerdy enough, so I now say that I actually read comic books. <br /><br />While comic book characters are now cool, I think that actually going to the comic book shop every Wednesday and knowing the particulars of character's story arcs is ultra nerdy still. The Hollywood types are now at comic con, but they don't have an opinion about whether Stephanie Brown or Cassandra Cain makes a better Batgirl, for instance. For an example of nerdy comic book conversation, go no further than this ridiculous article:<br /><br />http://www.newsarama.com/comics/091203-Column-For-Justice.html<br /><br />Interesting point, though. The 00s showed that being nerdy is much cooler than it used to be.rpweberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16995615750201726117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148797616690196169.post-45281676661671744262010-01-04T00:09:54.431-08:002010-01-04T00:09:54.431-08:00Ryan, I don't know whether you can really call...Ryan, I don't know whether you can really call comic books "nerdy" anymore, what with Robert Downey Jr. portraying Iron Man and Christopher Nolan directing Batman movies.

Matthew Perpetua, its author, is a comic back fan, as well, and hipped me to Scott Pilgrim which I browsed and enjoyed in some book store (putting fingerprints on the glossy pages like a jerk).<br /><br />Go boilermakers.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468100826003845143noreply@blogger.com
